Read the Instructions

I have been a bit tired this week. Every day I get up, get busy and don't stop till I drop. The sad thing is, it doesn't look like I have done much! Oh well!

Last night, I decided I would cut the fabric for the Diamonds at Large quilt. I began to match up rectangles and decide which colors would match up the best. I glanced at the instructions and saw that I needed to make a cut from the top left to the bottom right.

I began cutting.

I got a bit distracted.

I started to cut top right to bottom left.

I realized I screwed up when my pieces would not match! I took a few moments to actually read the instructions.

I walked away.

I finally got the pieces cut properly. I made sure I read the instructions. I made sure I followed the instructions.

Paint has been purchased for the big redo of my studio. I decided to go with Warm Stone by Glidden. I have only gotten as far as getting the paint in the studio. No paint has gotten on the wall yet!

At least I bought the paint!

I will be cleaning house like a crazy woman for the next couple of days. If you remember, the MIL is coming!
